docron Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 BBC Sessions doesn't get enough credit. The 04-01-1971 performance on Disc 2 is a perfect set if ever I heard one. Alot of people dis-own it because Jimmy edited and over-dubbed the tracks, but I have the bootleg, and it sounds almost exactly the same with a few minor things done to remove some tape hiss and balance the EQ. Actually, I prefer the bootleg. 1) BBC Sessions 2) Official DVD (mainly because of the Royal Albert Hall performance) 3) How the West Was Won 4) The Song Remains the Same (I rank this low because of all the editing done - you can't really get a feel for the show because its a mash-together of a few different nights) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zosodude13 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I would have voted for TSRTS... but they fucked up the remaster of No Quarter, and butchered Jimmy's beautiful guitar solo.. besides... HTWWW felt like you were being hit by a train for every single second, even during the acoustic stuff... it was so powerful, I couldnt believe it!

LukeTheDuke Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'll go for HTWWW but it's always a thrill to see / hear the beginning of Immigrant song from downunder on the DVD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Jam Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I went with the DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe M Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I voted for the DVD. How the West Was Won is pretty good too. If I had to pick I'd say DVD because it has from when they first started to their last performance. So, I picked the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shag Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hello Zep fans- Ive just registered on this site. I chose the DVD. I love watching the band evolve. You get almost their whole catalog. P.S.- I wonder why they didn't get anything from In Through the Out Door in to the set list at O2. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHD Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I mean, I love all of them, but I went with HTWWW...although the DVD is close second. I gatecrashed my son's viewing of it yesterday. He is getting into Zep more and more which I'm delighted about. He's now got a fantastic shot of Robert and Jimmy as his desktop background. He's learning fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I've noticed a problem with this poll/thread. The title reads..."Best Led Zeppelin Live Album". To me, that means album/CD...not DVD. As much as I love the DVD set, it shouldn't be on the list. Someone needs to get their shit together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZep1969 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I would have to disagree TSRTS is slightly better. Yes HTWWW had way more songs just TSRTS is just magical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Masson Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) DVD is just that: a DVD, and hence not comparable with audio only releases. TSRTS I have loved for decades like every other fan my age, and there are great moments on there, especially TSRTS and No Quarter - and Moby Dick is great on there. I couldn't get a lot of bootlegs back in the day in this country, but one thing I did get back in 1986 was the 1971 Paris Theatre BBC gig. The official release of the BBC sessions when that came was not as exciting as it should have been, because two of the very best things from the Paris Theatre had been edited out, e.g. a huge chunk from the Whole Lotta Love medley, and an absolutely incredible version of What Is and What Should Never Be. I voted for HTWWW - I guess it just sounds more fresh to these ears than TSRTS possibly can by now.

JRomero Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 For anyone who can't decided between How The West Was Won and The Song Remains The Same, please do the following: Listen to Over The Hills And Far Away from both albums. Please note that while the version on TSRTS is good, the version from HTWWW punches you in the face so hard, it damn near breaks your nose. Summary: TSRTS version: HTWWW version: My two cents, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 HTWWW, with BBC Sessions and the DVD coming behind in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy's A Legend Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Gotta go with the BBC Sessions-purley becuase I think Zep's music was heavier and stronger live back in the earlier days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
